Class 6 2020 - 2021
Welcome to Class 6
Teacher: Mrs Grealis
Our Learning
Our WTL topic this half term is 'The Kingdom of God.' We will explore the Kingdom of God and reflect on its meaning through exploring various parables. The children will learn about the values that we can demonstrate to show our commimtent to the Kingdom of God and consider ways in which they can share the Good News that everyone is invited into the Kingdom of God.
English
Our text this half term is Star of Fear, Star of Hope. We will gain knowledge of World War II and find out about life from the prospective of a young girl. The children will reinforce last year's objectives while learning about passive sentences, cohesion throughout their writing and how to use a flashback.
'High Rise Mystery' by Sharna Jackson will be our main class text for the next term, with which we will develop our retrieval and inference skills. We will also explore extracts from other texts in our dailt Whole Class Guided Reading Sessions.
We actively encourage all children to read as much as possible as home. Please help to support our in class learning by encouraging your child to read a range of genres reguarly at home. Some children will have a reading book that is provided by school and some children will be able to choose their own appropriate books. Everybody is encouraged to have a 'Reading for Pleasure' book.
Spelling tests will be held weekly (on Mondays). It is important that all children are practising their spelling patterns throughout the week to ensure that they go into their long term memory.
PE
Our P.E. day is a Friday and children should come to school in their kit. School hoodies and jogging bottoms can be purchased online with school uniform.
